Our popular workshops take place in a converted barn
and a newly refurbished pottery adjacent to the Gallery. There is
wheel chair access to both workshops and facilities for the disabled
in the Gallery. There is plenty of parking and a comfortable coffee
shop. You will need to bring a packed lunch to all day workshops. We
welcome young people from the age of 15 into adult workshops, with

for GCSE, AS and A2 creative courses as well as for their own
interest.
